The only suggestion I have is regarding the placement of the green & red LED's - wouldn't it make more sense to have them along the wing edges, or facing the lower surface, considering usual pilot/plane orientation during flight. As they are, seems you'd only see them when you're flying inverted.

Thanks, Fred. I put lights on the majority of my planes. True, having them point forward on the wingtips (depending on the directionality of the leds) might allow better visibility at altitude. This will not be a night flyer. I often fly at or below eye-level with these profile planes (I often fly off the bank of a low retention pond) so the top placement should not be a problem. They actually light up the top surface of the wing and vertical stabs. In this instance, they were easier to secure in the foam by going up thru the wing. For what it is worth, and while my raptor is certainly not scale, my scale resources (mainly Hyerscale.com) show them to be on top (although probably pointing forward). Check out the site below...a very good resource.

Thanks for the kind comments. The LEDs are strip leds from hobbyking. you can cut them up. I used approx 3 yellow cut sections for each "thrust tube" and about 3-4 blue sections for the intakes. The red/green/strobe lighting is a small kit also from hobbyking. I put the strip leds on an electronic switch...also from hobbyking. I guess you know where I do my rc shopping.

No. But I have 2 night flyers, this lighted f22, and I am building a 60" night flyer wing with lights...so I really do need to get some video up. In the meantime, maybe I can get some "dusk" in-flight photos and a short vid from the movie function on the camera this weekend.
